camo good to hide in woods

20psi offroaad is a bit high for my liking, i prefer around 10psi, too much air is like riding on marbles

If you haven't been on it yet, here is Thumpertalks Kawasaki section for your bike. Lots of good advise and knowledge base. The first link is a search for threads on the SS the other is link to the exotics forum. The expo forums are cool but TT will know more about bikes and your bike, and...

Good Pic, glad you didnt get a monster. Keep in mind that you don't always have to get a bigger bike to get on the highway better. There's always the option of getting more power from the bike you have - aftermarket pipe, open the airbox, rejet carb, and finally a big bore kit. Sorry if I keep...

KTM 250 Husaberg 390 Husqvarna 250

keep this in mind, a Kawasaki KLX140 will do 70mph and weighs 200lbs and is electric start, a KTM250 weighs 230lbs will do 100mph and is electric start. A dr-z 125 can be built up to a 200cc model. A lot of people get the smaller and lighter bike and upgrade it's power and to run highway is...

I'll share my plan with you. I am trying to get my gf to enjoy riding motorcycles so we can enjoy dualsporting in the future and do all the fire roads of the different mtn ranges. First I got her a Honda NX125, it was too heavy for her (260ish), then a TT225 (222lbs) still too big and heavy [to...

I posted this on a guy's post that was asking pretty much the same thing, only difference is you may want to consider a TW200 as it has smaller wider tires. Smaller tires inspire confidence, as do wider tires, especially in rocky situations. Also, the xt225 is a must consider for weight reasons...

I'm a big fan of the light bikes. Figure out how fast you need to go on the highway and go from there. Some people need unending power which comes with a lot of weight in most cases, but not all. I'm also a BIG believer in getting a small dirtbike and learning how to actually ride a bike before...

nice:bowdown:

oh, sorry, thought it was a drz400 for $1000. DR200, not sure about 70mph but a hoot off road, light but not light for a 200, I would offer $800. Well maybe $1000 if its street legal

for $1000 i'd jump on it, if not, there are plenty of bikes to consider, these and more KTM 250 XCF-W - 101.6 kg (223.98 lbs) (the four-stroke one) approx. 35 HP XT225 - 238 lbs DR-Z 400S- 291.0 pounds, Measured horsepower: 32.5 bhp @ 7850 rpm klr 650 - 387.0 pounds KTM 690 Enduro - 305.3...

sounds like a project for sure. I doubt anything from '81 will have much suspension. I assume/hope its a street bike so shouldnt need a lot of suspension. You should be able to get new/heavier springs installed. I would have someone set up the suspension for you. You could also source out some...

I am here to settle this - DO NOT get a heavy bike, KLR 650 is 400+ pounds, DRZ is almost 300lbs, Yamaha WR250 (great bike but still 300lbs) ie. might as well get a KTM 690, it's 300 lbs. Scratch all those, get the lightest damn bike you can find which would be the Yamaha XT225, it is like...

Nice pics keep postin', I would like to stay away from my trailer (regular 5x10), I have an '03 Chevy 4x4 w/factory locker, longbed, but it's nowhere near as good offroad as the 4Runner and it breaks on occasion, several times now (alternator, dropped driveshaft, speed sensor went out-stuck...
